Palo Alto Weekly:
"We are confident only about Melissa Baten Caswell and Ken Dauber. Each of them has a firm grasp of the governance problems, is willing to assert the board's responsibility to make decisions and places a high value on transparency and parent participation. Both have experience in corporate decision-making yet acknowledge that a public institution can't run like a business and needs to build support among all stakeholders in the school community. We think together they could provide the type of board leadership that could fix many of the problems identified above."

Paly High School Campanile:
"We feel most compelled to support non-incumbent Ken Dauber...Dauber has helped shape homework policy, drive discussions on student well-being and Project Safety Net and more. Dauber's focus on data-· driven decision making would allow the Board to make informed choices grounded in research."

Palo Alto Daily News:
"As school board member Barbara Klausner notes in her letter to the editor today, Dauber's comments during meetings 'have contributed to the depth and breadth of our discussion.' We believe Ken Dauber would add a beneficial dimension to the Palo Alto School Board and endorse him."

Esther Wojcicki, Paly journalism teacher and California Teacher of the Year in 2002: "[I am] impressed with his sincerity, his ideas and vision for the district. He knows that teachers are the key to good education and wants to support their efforts in the classroom. As a teacher in the district, I am endorsing Ken Dauber for PAUSD school board."
